Circumstance
Quiet Company

Long ago the grass was green
And the hills were capped with snow
But life wasn't better there
So I proposed, that you and me were meant for something more

Now tell me if you think I'm wasting time
On chasing some dolled up dream that will leave me jaded
Well, I'd trade my skin to be young again
And I'd bow out...

But I don't know what you want from me
Because You take it all
And I would give my eyes to
See you brood of vipers get what's coming to you

Now tell me if you think I'm wasting time
On chasing some dolled up dream that will leave me jaded
Well, I'd trade my skin to be young again
And I'd bow out graciously

But now the Good Lord's waiting
At the gates with affirmation of my demons
I would trade my skin for a little innocence
And I'd carve out my name with my bare hands

(...And the sun is shing on me again)

Lyrics by Quiet Company

  ...Then Came a Sudden Validation   A Nation of Two   Fashionabel   Golden Like The State   How Many Times Do You Want to Be in Love?   How To Fake Like You Are Nice   I Was Humming a New Song to Myself   If You Want   It's Better To Spend Money Like There's No Tomorro...   Jezebel   Love is a Shotgun   On Husband's Wives   Our Sun Is Always Rising   Preaching to the Choir Invisible, Part I   Seal My Fate   Set Your Monster Free   So Gracefully   The Biblical Sense of the Word   The Black Sheep & The Shepherd   The Confessor (You Could Exist Without It)   The Emasculated Man and the City that Swallowed Hi...   Tie Your Monster Down   We Change Lives   We Went To The Renaissance Faire   Well Behaved Women Rarely Make History   Well The Truth Is   When You Pass Through the Waters   You, Me & the Boatman
